Connecting Mux/Demux Modules
Note
Clean all fiber connectors thoroughly. Dust particles can degrade performance.
Put caps on any fiber connectors that are not in use.
Cabling Mux/Demux Modules with OSC
There are three different cables you can use to cable the mux/demux modules.
This section describes how to attach and route fiber optic cables between
mux/demux modules.
For OSC connections on the motherboard and pass through OSC connections,
follow these steps:
Step 1
Route the fiber cable from the top OSC connector on the motherboard down
through the cable management tray.
Step 2
Route the cable out of the left side of the tray, down the vertical cable guides and
in through the left side of the cable storage drawer.
Step 3
Route the cable through the cable storage drawer and out the right side. Bring the
cable up and into the right side of the cable management tray and continue to route
the cable thought until you come to the bottom of the desired mux/demux module.
